Here is a picture of my Jedi Mind Trick Montipora. I'll try to take a better picture of it later.

You got really nice colors on your corals. What are you running through those Phosban reactors?

Thanks!! I'm running half a cup of Premium ROX 0.8 Aquarium Carbon, 60 grams of GFO and I change both of them out every month. (Not sure on the brand, my friend gave me a bunch when he was taking a break from the hobby a while ago.)

Thanks for letting me know. How much flow is going through the reactors and what pump are you using? Thanks Moses.

Anytime! Umm.. I honestly don't know, but I have a maxijet 1200 with a valve. Flow is just enough to tumble the carbon. Your welcome.

You running the Extension Kit on those?

I'm running the chemipure elite/purigen via the InTank media basket ... but I'm cycling and might add a reactor to push some extra phosban during the cycle period

No, I bought all the L connectors and tubing from Homedepot. The tubing was clear, so I painted it black.

Sleak set up you have there. What is the flow rate through your back chambers?

Thanks! Umm.. Id say about 340 GPH or so.

A picture of my Gorgonian. Glued it onto this new spot this morning because it fell off of its old spot and landed into the chalice field and got a little beat-up.

Baby Misbar Clownfish that I got today. Its 3 months old.

My hand next to her for size comparison.

Keep us posted on how he does. I just added two juvie ocellaris and I had to adjust my return pumps to alternating to decrease the flow. I think in part it is how they swim but they just look like they struggle against high flow.

Will do. Yeah... I reduced the flow on the vortech to 35% on reef crest mode, I'll slowly ramp it up over time and will put a mesh net over the vortech.
